I went to Red Lobster with my family and honestly it was really good. The food came out at a reasonable time, and everything was hot and fresh. My favorite part was definitely the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. The workers were nice and checked on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was clean and had a nice, relaxing vibe. It was a little busy, but we still got our food pretty quickly. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely go back. If you like seafood or just want a nice place to eat with your family, I'd recommend giving Red Lobster a try! read more

We went back to this Red Lobster to give it another try, and this time I decided to order their Shrimp Your Way, for which you get to choose 2 shrimp options out of a total of 7 for $19.99. The 7 choices were Garlic Shrimp Scampi (220 Cal), Shrimp Linguini Alfredo (620 Cal), Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp (470 Cal), Walt's Favorite Shrimp (260 Cal), Grilled Shrimp (250 Cal), Crispy Dragon Shrimp (480 Cal), and Popcorn Shrimp (430 Cal). I went with the Garlic Shrimp Scampi and Shrimp Linguini Alfredo. The Garlic Shrimp Scampi was good. It was basically shrimp swimming in a salty, buttery sauce, so how could it not be good? I thought it paired perfectly with my Baked Potato. I'd scoop up the buttery sauce and drizzle it over the potato, and it tasted amazing. But then again, anything covered in butter is probably going to be yummy, right? The Shrimp Linguini Alfredo was a little more complex than the Garlic Shrimp Scampi. It was linguini tossed in a cheesy Alfredo sauce with shrimp. The sauce was ultra cheesy, which I absolutely loved. They definitely didn't hold back on the cheese. I thought this dish was really good. For my side, I chose the regular Baked Potato, which came with Sour Cream, Cheese, and Green Onion by default. That actually confused me, so I asked our waitress what made the Fully Loaded Baked Potato different. She told me it was basically the same thing except they added bacon for an extra $2.50. I thought that was interesting because then the regular Baked Potato already seemed like the much better deal. Anyway, it was baked perfectly, and I really enjoyed it. We also shared the Chicken Linguini Alfredo and chose the Cajun Style. It was basically chicken served over linguini in a garlic Alfredo sauce. I remember this dish used to come with Blackened Chicken many many years ago, but somewhere along the way they changed it to regular chicken. I thought the old Blackened Chicken version was far much better. Even though we ordered the Cajun Style, the Cajun seasoning barely came through! Their famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits were delicious. I love them. No complaints there. Our waitress was amazing and very friendly. None of the following was her fault, but the food took a really really long time to come out. We ordered two Shrimp Your Ways and one pasta dish, and yet it took about 45 minutes before our food arrived. That was much less than ideal, and the wait definitely made the experience less enjoyable. To make it even more weird, we went on a weeknight and the restaurant wasn't even busy, so I'm really not sure what the holdup was. I really wanted to like this restaurant, but with how long it took for the food to come out, I'm not sure it'd be worth coming back. I'd need either some reassurance that they've improved the wait times or some kind of incentive to give this place another try. read more

Food was lack luster I had a gift card which I was excited to use and added extra cash for my meal. The lobster tail was flavorless tasted like if it were microwaved or something. The butter sauce didn't do any justice neither. The steak was medium cook but the center was though and gummy, the outer part of the steak was tough also. I told my waitress "hey maybe its a different cook or maybe they cooked the steak too fast", maybe it was old meat. I also told her about the lobster tail lack of flavor and she didn't do anything about it. So I paid and used the gift card this was my first time going to red lobster which I also told her. A very underwhelming experience. read more

Food tasted great! I had the Ultimate Feast with a baked potato sour cream cheese bacon and coleslaw. The cheese biscuits I had to order some to take home! The service was amazing from the time we walked through the door! Our waitress Alaylah B Table 25 was friendly warm and kind. The atmosphere was mellow and peaceful.

Red Lobster - Lobster, Crab, Shrimp Scampi, Breaded Shrimp, Baked Potato, Coleslaw - Seafood Near Me - Pittsburg, California

We usually come here on the weekends, so as expected, it is pretty busy. In particular, Sundays after church time. I guess this is the spot after a good prayer session. We try to come during off peak hours. The servers are always really nice, but the kitchen can be a little slow. I usually get the lighter meals because a lot of the items are deep fried or just heavy. My go-to were always the fish or shrimp tacos, but for some reason, I didn't see it on my recent visit. Shout out to our server, Dan, who has been there for years. He usually takes good care of us. This time around, I got the southwest shrimp bowl, which was pretty good and they did not go cheap on the shrimp either. Hubby got a new item on the dish: Create your own Lobster Lover's Dream. He got the Lobster Pasta au Gratin & Crispy Dragon Teriyaki Lobster with 2 sides. It was not the best dish to go with, but it wasn't bad. The teriyaki was too overwhelming and a bit salty and the au gratin pasta was heavy. My kiddo got his usual chicken tenders and fries, which is always a hit with the littles. Red Lobster is a pretty relaxed and laid back restaurants and a good place to go for lunch. There are a lot of families, couples and older generations there and is a staple place for many. read more

Our server Alyssia was amazing. Very kind and super friendly and brought us lots of food. We had the endless shrimp for the first time and it was fun to try the five different shrimp. The way it works is you can order any 3 and then they bring it out in sets of 2. They also make it every time you order so it takes a bit of time for it to come out, but I like it. I think the garlic shrimp scampi is the best and you dip the cheese bread in the sauce and it's great. Overall good experience. Thank you again Alyssia! read more

Alright peeps let's see who is on the chopping block todayyyyy!!! Alright Red Lobster come on down!!!! Let's start off from the outside of the establishment a lot of parking so good and the outside was very clean. When you walk inside you are greeted by a host. Very polite and ready to help. You can also see live lobsters in a tank so you for sure know when ordering a live lobster cooked you can see where it's coming from. We were waiting for our party to arrive so we decided to look at the menu since it was our first time here. We notice that Dr dre and snoop had collaborated and made a gin and juice drink. The host told us that they where handing out coasters with this drink that give you back $5 for trying the drink but you have to scan the QR code and inform them where you want your refund back. He also gave us a coupon for next time to use for a percentage off when we come back. Our party finally arrived so we got sat down our server was Rebecca. She was very nice very friendly. This is what we decided to order Drinks: Purple haze Pepsi Long Island ice tea Passion fruit margaritas Non alcoholic strawberry breeze 2 strawberry margaritas FOOD: Bacon wrapped scallops Crab carbonara Filet 6oz Cajun chicken Shrimp skewers ala carte Shrimp linguine Mariners boil Parmesan chicken TOTAL FOR THIS: 302.32 Let's talk about the experience to be honest the restaurant was not busy yet we had to wait for our drinks to come out it took over 5 minutes to get our first round of drinks. We finally ordered our food was okay everyone stated that the food did not have much salt it was very bland. Our server did not check on us constantly. We all had finished our drinks and it took long to get her to come back to take another order. Our friend decided to get another alcoholic drink and same took long when asked she stated "bartender is very busy making other drinks" mind you again we were the only table there till people started showing up. She gave us bread no butter. then when we were done with the bread she brings the butter. Over all service was horrible. For this being our first time there it was just bad right when we sat down. Now for the moment of truth is this restaurant Dendinger approved???? Unfortunately NO capital N capital O service was bad. Just wish that it was as good as when we walked in the door. It went down hill as soon as we ordered. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner here made even more special by the manager Mike. The service was amazing and we all enjoyed our meals. We had 3 pasta dishes and a lobster dinner. We had the calamari appetizer and of course their famous cheddar biscuits. It was a Thursday night and the restaurant was not too crowded or loud. We will definitely be back. read more

On Friday, went to Happy Hour at the bar area. The staff was busy and did not check in on us. Started with the Tito's Twisted Strawberry Lemonade. And since we did not want a sweet drink, we had them add club soda. We selected 4 starters too much and the best one was the Lobster Dip. The complimentary cheese biscuits were not as good as I remember. read more

It'd been a rough morning and I needed nourishment bad! Seafood crossed mind, Red was within eyesight & I had a taste for a boil so why not? Purple Haze 4outta5 It was refreshing but didn't really excite my tastebuds. I only had one. A first... Still Gin by Dre & Snoop was the base. I'll have to try it neat one day. Calamari 3.8outta5 They were okay. The cook was inconsistent. Some bites were perfect others were a lil tough & chewy. Mariner's Boil 3outta5 If you like spicy boils get the extra spicy. The regular spicy option is for children, imo. I got the garlic butter in the bag and Cajun butter on the side. A side of spicy Cajun seasoning was also provided. The pic shows the extra seasonings. It was almost naked initially. It was lukewarm, setting a bad tone. The differences in regional seafood quality has always tripped me out. We get what we pay for, for a reason. The snow crab was ok. Veggies were good and not over. The corn popped w/each bite & the potatoes were firm & tender. Shrimp & lobster were a lil under. A for effort. If it's your first & you've never had a southern boil, you'll be satisfied; extending grace w/it being commercialized on a national level. Service front to back was excellent. It was just after lunch hour so the vibe was chill & relaxing. #GoTaste&See read more

Been going to Red Lobster often over the last 30 years. Things have changed!! The famous biscuits were very bland, hardly any flavor. They obviously changed something with the recipe. They dont have 1000 salad which is one of the 3 most popular dressings. My Caesar salad had rotten brown lettuce leaves in it, at the bottom, hidden so i wouldn't notice. We ordered Hush puppies which is supposed to have a creamy corn center. Ours were like deep fried dough with 1 or 2 corn kernals in each one. Very disappointing experience. The waitress was nice. Wont be back... read more

Entered an hour before closing on a Wednesday, sat and greeted promptly! It was the filet and lobster special which I ordered for about $25. What a steal! Simple, perfectly cooked mid-rare with a juicy lobster tail. Boyfriend ordered a modified version of their shrimp linguini -- nice big portion and tasty too. We were served by a young man (I didn't catch his name) who was patient, attentive and very helpful. I feel lucky to live close to one of the few gems this chain has left in the Bay. read more

Just not the same! Food isn't the greatest! Small portions and happy hour isn't the best anymore! Service was very slow!

I've traveled all the way from Phoenix to visit my family in Antioch. And was hungry for some seafood. So it was either olive garden or red lobster. I haven't been to red lobster in years and there's not much locations where I'm from but I came to reminisce. The place is kinda familiar from all the other red lobsters but this one felt like an old memory. Originally I was going to plan for take out and the kind host Zander helped me a bit but he was new and immediately grabbed a server to assist in my questions, Valentino kindly assisted me and offered something else he recommended that was similar to what I had in mind. This young lad was really helpful. As I waited for the food I grabbed a drink at the bar and Lyssette helped me out with drink options since they didn't have much options for IPAs. So I chose Chardonnay. She recommended a Chardonnay I forgot what it's called but it had a really rich note and savory at the end, it was the best recommendation! As I was hanging out at the bar there was also another fellow who checked up on me constantly and I reckon his name was Michael I believe or Mike. He happened to be the manager on duty of the establishment! I haven't dined in a red lobster in awhile but I really appreciate the hospitality! read more

Megan absolutely made our experience at Red Lobster. From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, attentive, and genuinely upbeat -- the kind of server who makes you feel welcome rather than rushed. She knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and checked in at just the right times without hovering. Our drinks were always refilled, the food came out perfectly timed, and she handled everything with a great attitude and professionalism. You can tell she really cares about customer service and takes pride in what she does. If you're dining here, ask for Megan she's the reason we'll be coming back. Outstanding service from start to finish! read more

We know Red's is closing so we decide to drive out to Pittsburgh for dinner. We ordered the feast and double Walt shrimp dinners. What's changed at Red Lobster? Not the cheddar biscuits but salads are no longer included with dinner. You can get a salad for substituting a side and paying $2.99 more. Check out my lame double shrimp meal for $21: 8 pieces of shrimp with two cocktails sauces. Sad AF - remind me to not eat here again. Also, service was pretty bad. Server was awkward with -0% personality: "are you enjoying your meal?" No I am not pal. Further, our two dinners took more than 45 minutes while other tables around us were quickly. I know why this place is closing - because it sucks. All of it. Skip Red Lobster because if service doesn't align with their meal pricing, go somewhere else. Not worth it. read more

This is my second time coming here since moving in 2017 and I'm really enjoying this restaurant. I sat at the bar area and was served by an awesome lady, Megan H. She was very helpful, friendly, and made my visit extra special. I wanted to relax and wind down after a long week and she made that happen with fast service and a nice margarita on the side. Warm biscuits were served right when I sat down and a no rush atmosphere to enjoy my delicious shrimp, lobster, and salmon meal. They give you plenty of delicious food so if you leave hungry that's on you! I will be back and can't wait! read more

First and foremost this may have been the BEST service I have got from any restaurant I ever been too!! Food is always great and so is the atmosphere! So the only mistake we made was ordering the seafood boil. Felt so generic but who goes to red lobster for that (cough) my wife! read more

Excellent service at the bar! Thanks Alaylah. The meal was delicious, crispy fried flounder with a lobster topped baked potato. The asparagus is large and tender. Of course with KJ Chardonnay to wash it down. This is a smaller store with more like being on the coast atmosphere than the bigger spots. Right off the 4 freeway. A very good choice for a traffic stop at that time of day! See you here read more

I'm back! & on a much less busy night! Service was 10/10! The guy who served us was very attentive & courteous. I can't remember his name but it was the younger guy with long black wavy hair. He brought out our biscuits & waters real quick, then got more drink orders aside from water. He then brought the soda back quickly, and took our order (my fiancé & I's). I had the endless shrimp, consisting of the grilled skewered shrimp, popcorn shrimp, and the Walt's favorite shrimp. The Walt's & grilled shrimp was good, but the popcorn shrimp on the other hand was sub par; almost tasted like they cooked it way earlier on in the day & just left it on a warming tray until they were ready to be served. Once I was 3/4 done with my plate, the server asked if I wanted more shrimp while I was finishing my plate up & of course I wanted more! He had also let me know that I can try the other shrimps, not just the ones that I had already ordered, which I had never been told before by any other server when I had ordered the endless shrimp. This server was the best, & I'm so mad I didn't remember his name. Once my next order of shrimp came, they seemed to be smaller portions but was okay cuz I was pretty stuffed by then. This time, I had gotten 2 new shrimps; the coconut shrimp and the new limited time salt and vinegar shrimp. & ooooh they were both delicious! Overall, my experience tonight was way better than any of my other previous experiences, especially my last one which was rated 2 stars. This place can either be good or bad, dependent on who is working & how busy it is; fortunately today was the best that I have experienced. read more

We came to get a taste of the new seafood options. Food was so good. The lobster was so fresh. Really, it was wonderful. We got the ultimate seafood feast and the surf and turf. I added a half lb of snow crab. The only complaint I had was, sadly there was no substituting any shrimp option on the two seafood boil options or the ultimate feast. I'm allergic to shrimp so it was kind of disappointing. I really wanted to try the seafood boil. Any suggestions I asked was shot down for substituting. Service was okay not the greatest it took awhile for our server to come back and tend to us. Me and my honey were just enjoying each other so we didn't have any complaints but it was an overall nice experience. read more

Pretty good food at a good value. The best part of teh meal was their sides! ;) The cheddar biscuits were the bomb - so good! And the Caesar's Salad was on point with fresh crunchy lettuce, and nice dressing. Main dishes were all ok, nothing special but exactly what you would expect from RL... a good meal at good value. We ordered 3 dishes between our party: - 7oz sirloin steak w broccoli - steak at med / rare was ok and seasoned perfectly, but a bit stringy and hard to chew (not sure why). Broccoli was perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly. - Shrimp Scampi w fries - very good; shrimp was tasty and cooked perfectly. - Chicken pasta w alfredo sauce - exactly what you would expect... pasta was cooked perfectly w a heavy scoop of alfredo cream sauce. Nice, clean and roomy interior. Carpet is a bit dated but clean. Service is prompt and friendly. Overall very good. . read more

I got a gift card from a nice lady when I watched her cat. We didn't feel like cooking so we decided to use my gift card and go out on a Wednesday night. Not crowded, not surprised, but then my expectations are higher. It's not busy, you have no excuse for poor service, wrong food, and cold food. The stuffed mushrooms were hot but too salty. We shared the lobster shrimp feast and asked for mashed potatoes and got a loaded baked. I tasted the cold loaded potato and after finally seeing our waiter again, asked to replace it with mashed potatoes. They came hot because I mentioned the rest was not. We got charged for two loaded potatoes which we got but I didn't ask for two and he said to keep the other so your tip reflected all the things including the extremely long wait for any check in and finally the check. Again there were very few people in the restaurant. We have been there before and had good experience before Covid. I guess it's on down hill and we won't be back.

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Went on a recent Sunday night and arrived early with easy seating but the restaurant got reasonably busy shortly after. Our server was very pleasant and the warm cheddar biscuits were excellent. The restaurant unfortunately didn't have their fish and chips despite it being on the menu. The seafood-stuffed mushrooms appetizer was full of cheese but not a lot of seafood. The Caesar salad was pretty good but then our dishes took a very long time to come out. The lobster was a good size but was a little overcooked. The fried shrimp were well fried and had good flavor, with tender steamed broccoli. The fish sandwich was unfortunately disappointing in that it came out cold and pretty flavorless. The fries were also not hot or crisp. Overall, while the restaurant got good marks for their table service, the food should have been better given the price point and been able to get dishes out more quickly. read more

Food was so so, but everything else just lacked. My family and i went for the Endless Shrimp tonight. Our server, only one for 6 (5 top) tables, was too busy running past our table instead of helping us out when we ran out of biscuits, drinks, and food. He also had a big ego, thinking he knew the menu inside and out. The portion for the Maple Bacon Glazed Chicken ($22), was completely outrageous for the price. A 4oz chicken breast drenched in sauce and flakes of bacon. I never understand why the service here is always so bad every time i come back here. If you want better service go to Chili's or Olive Garden in the nearby area, service is quicker and you'll be happier when you leave read more
